This is a sample of the Control valve sizing calculator. To access the working calculator, please sign up for free membership trial.
The control valve sizing calculator given here can be used to estimate the flow coefficient or orifice coefficient of the valve. This flow coefficient for a valve depends on type of valve, pressure & flow conditions and desired inherent characteristic of the valve.
This is something you may need to know for your online degree program in engineering. Here is some helpful information.
The table given below, provides valve specific factors for a variety of valves.
